TRANSFER TALK

London duo Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United, plus Merseyside duo Everton and Liverpool are tracking 20-year-old (21 next January) PSG and former French Under-16 left-back Fodé Ballo-Touré suggest MadeinFoot.

Also said to be interested in the youngster are Championship sides Brighton, Bristol City and Aston Villa, plus French Ligue 1 sides Lille, Nice and Rennes.

He isn't the first PSG youngster we have tracked or offered a contract to but none have as yet moved across the water to us.

Our interest though does show, as my last article points out, we are building for the future after Danny Rose. Rose is 26 now and will be 27 in July, so in three season we are looking at a 30-year-old by which time these youngsters we keep looking at will be that much older and have developed their game to take over from him.

At the moment he is only playing in the French youth league and the news outlet suggest he will not be signing a professional contract with PSG but moving elsewhere with Lille favourites for his signature.
